-====== Using the cluster ======
+====== Using the Cluster ======
 ILRI's high-performance computing "cluster" is currently composed of several dedicated machines:
   * hpc - main login node, "master" of the cluster
-  * taurus - good for batch and interactive jobs like BLAST, structure, R, etc
+  * taurus,compute2 - good for batch and interactive jobs like BLAST, structure, R, etc
   * mammoth - good for high-memory jobs like genome assembly (mira, newbler, abyss, etc)
-To get access to the cluster you should talk to [[a.orth@cgiar.org|Alan Orth]] (he sits in Lab 2).  Once you have access you should read up on [[UsingSLURM|SLURM]] so you can learn how to submit jobs to the cluster.

+===== Cluster Organization =====
 The cluster is arranged in a master/slave configuration; users log into HPC (the master) and use it as a "jumping off point" to the rest of the cluster. Here's a diagram of the topology:
